[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 174750, member: 1953"] Steely, ((((HUGS)))) I never knew what depression was till my son died. For the first year after Alex died, I slept everday after work. I would get up and eat dinner and go back to sleep. The second year, I wasn't tired anymore, but going out to malls, and anyplace people were, sent me in a panic, just seeing what I perceived as whole families made me cry, so I stayed home. Now I can go out to public places and don't necessarily always get panic attacks when I leave my house. Now that I am into my third year without my Alex, I do feel better most of the time, yet not the person I was before. Losing your sister has probably sent you deeper then you anticipated it would. My only advice would be to be gentle on yourself, take each day, one day at a time. It will probably be awhile before you feel like totally reinvesting in life. I love the journal idea, it can be a great way to sort out feelings when it is too difficult to speak. I go to a website only for parents who have lost children. But I know that webhealing.com has a forum for bereaved parents and other forums for people who are grieving losses other than children. Griefwork is hard stuff. Your beautiful sister died not that long ago. It will take time for you to enjoy the stuff you once did. I do believe though, that one day, you will feel much better than you do right now. Take care of yourself. Love, Lia [/QUOTE]
